Experiencing numbness in your hands?
It’s not necessarily a reason to panic.
Chronic conditions are a common cause of numbness in the fingers.
Diabetes, for example, can result in damaged nerves.
Multiple sclerosis (or M.S.
), alcohol use disorder, and other conditions can also cause numbness in the fingers.
Numbness or tingling can also be brought on by carpal tunnel syndrome.
This syndrome happens when the small area of your wrist known as the carpal tunnel becomes irritated.
Vitamin deficiencies (particularly B-12) are another cause of finger numbness.
Of course, this is the worst case scenario, and the reasons for finger numbness are largely treatable.
